Introduction

Dream Machines Logo


Dream Machines is a Polish company producing peripherals and laptops. Even more than two decades after its original release, the Logitech Mini Optical still has its fans, especially among StarCraft players, as professional Brood War players in particular were fond of the Mini Optical. The DM8 Mini Pro tries to recreate that shape as faithfully as possible, along with updating its internals of course. PixArt's PAW3395 sensor capable of 26,000 CPI sees use, accompanied by Kailh GM 8.0 switches for the main buttons. The DM8 Mini Pro weighs only 42 g, and the USB Type-C cable is detachable. The usual configuration options are present in software.
